She entered in. She called out his name "D..... D..... where are you?" She found him in his room. She smiled and went to him.

It was evening Shivaay came home after a tiring day. Jhanvi, Pinky and Dadi were sitting in the hall. He came to dadi and placed his head on her lap. Dadi smiled.

Pinky: Shivaay Anika kahan hai?

Shivaay(frowned): woh ab tak nahi aai?

Jhanvi: roz toh tum dono saath aate hona

Shivaay: haan par humara project khatam ho gaya. Woh toh subha hi nikal gai thi

Dadi: ghar pe nahi aai

Bela and Mahir came. They sat with them. Shivaay sat up.

Shivaay: Bela Anika office(Anika's office) aai thi?

Bela: nahi. Woh kal se aane wali hai

Shivaay: tumhein pata hai woh kahan hai?

Bela: nahi. Infact aaj office jane ke baad meri baat bhi nahi hui.

Mahir: kya hua? Anika nahi aai

Jhanvi: nahi.

Mahir: par woh toh subha hi chali gai thi na

RiKara and RuMya also came.

Gauri: good evening

Shivaay: Gauri tumhein pata hai Anika kahan hai?

Gauri: nahi

Shivaay: Soumya tumhein?

Soumya: nahi.

Shivaay(worried): kahan gai?

Om: office mein nahi aai?

Mahir: Om aaj project khatam ho gaya tha issiliye woh subha hi chali gai thi

Rudra: kisi ne phone kiya?

Shivaay: main karta hun.

He called but she didn't pick.

Shivaay(worried + angry): yeh ladki phone kyu nahi utha rahi?

He again called this time she picked. As she picked he bombarded his questions

Shivaay: hello, Anika kahan ho? Ghar kyu nahi aai?

Anika: hello Shivaay mujhe bol ne toh dijiye.

Shivaay: okay kahan ho tum?

Anika: main apne dost ke ghar hun.

Shivaay: okay ek phone toh kar deti sab pareshan hai yahan.

Anika: sorry woh bhool gai thi. Aap log mera wait mat karna mujhe aane mein der ho jayegi. Yehi dinner karke aaungi.

Shivaay: okay

Anika(to D): ayee D aem nai (hey D not like that) (to Shivaay) Shivaay main baad mein baat karti hun. Otherwise he'll mess up

She hung the call without letting him answer back. All were waiting for him to answer

Pinky: kahan hai?

Shivaay: woh kisi dost ke ghar par hai. Late aayegi.

Jhanvi: acha theek hai. Chalo sab log fresh ho jao.

All were to their rooms. Shivaay was still in Anika's thought. "Who this D is?" Was the question which was eating his head. He went to take a hot shower to relax.

His heart: kyu Shivaay? Woh apne dost ke ghar gai hai toh tu kyu itna pareshan ho raha hai? Ussne kaha ke woh aa jayegi then why?

His mind has no answer this time.
